Police brutality towards patrons of the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969 sets off an uprising that rages for days and inspires the first-ever Pride marches. Activists and icons who were involved in that historic night share their stories, including: Latina trans rights pioneer Sylvia Rivera; founder of the Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop Craig Rodwell; journalist Mark Segal; gay civil rights leader and entertainer Stormé DeLarverie; Village Voice reporter Howard Smith; and Dick Leitsch, president of the Mattachine Society in the 1960s. |
